Notice of intent to suspend or withdraw shall be given by the interstate commission to the governor, the majority and minority leaders of the defaulting state's legislature, and each of the member states.

members, initiate legal action in the United State States District Court for the District of Columbia or, at the discretion of the interstate commission, in the federal district where the interstate commission has its principal offices, to enforce compliance with this compact and its adopted rules and bylaws against a member state in default. The relief sought may include both injunctive relief and damages. In the event judicial enforcement is necessary, the prevailing party shall be awarded all costs of such litigation, including reasonable attorney's fees.
        3. The remedies set forth in this section are not the exclusive remedies of the interstate commission. The interstate commission may avail itself of any other remedies available under state law or the regulation of a profession.

(a) When an individual files an initial claim, the department shall promptly follow the procedure described in subsections (b) through (e) to make a determination of the individual's status as an insured worker in a form prescribed by the department. A written notice of the determination of insured status shall be furnished to the individual promptly. The notice must include the time by which the employer is required to respond to the department's notice of the individual's claim, and complete information about the rules of evidence and standards of proof that the department will apply to determine the validity of the individual's claim, if the employer disputes the claim. Each such determination shall be based on and include a written statement showing the amount of wages paid to the individual for insured work by each employer during the individual's base period and shall include a finding as to whether such wages meet the requirements for the individual to be an insured worker, and, if so, the week ending date of the first week of the individual's benefit period,

the individual's weekly benefit amount, and the maximum amount of benefits that may be paid to the individual for weeks of unemployment in the individual's benefit period. For the individual who is not insured, the notice shall include the reason for the determination. Unless the individual, within ten (10) days after such determination was mailed to the individual's last known address, or otherwise delivered to the individual, asks a hearing thereon before an administrative law judge, such determination shall be final and benefits shall be paid or denied in accordance therewith.
    (b) Not later than January 1, 2010, the department shall establish an unemployment claims compliance center. When an individual files an initial claim after the unemployment claims compliance center is established, the department, before making a determination that the individual is eligible for benefits, shall compare the information provided by the individual making the claim with information from the separating employer concerning the individual's eligibility for benefits. If the information provided by the individual making the claim does not match the information from the separating employer, the department may not pay the individual benefits and shall refer the individual's claim to the department's unemployment claims compliance center for investigation. The department shall provide a written notice to the individual who filed the claim that the individual's claim is being referred to the unemployment claims compliance center, including the reason for the referral.
    (c) After receiving a claim from the department, the unemployment claims compliance center shall contact the separating employer that provided information that does not match information provided by the individual making the claim to obtain information about the claim that is accurate and sufficient for the department to determine whether the individual is eligible for benefits. The center shall also obtain from the employer the name and address of a person to receive without delay notices served on the employer concerning the claim.
    (d) Except as provided in subsection (e), the department may not pay the individual benefits under this article as long as the discrepancy between the information provided by the individual and the information provided by the individual's separating employer is unresolved. If the information provided by an individual and the information provided by the individual's separating employer does not match, the department shall notify both the separating employer and the individual that they have forty-eight (48) hours to resolve the discrepancy. If the discrepancy is not resolved at the end of the forty-eighth hour, the department shall use the information provided by the employer to

determine the individual's eligibility for benefits.
    (e) If the employer does not respond to the inquiry from the unemployment claims compliance center within five (5) days after the date of the inquiry, the center shall report to the department that the employer has not responded, and the department shall use the information provided by the individual to determine the individual's eligibility for benefits.
    (f) After the department makes a determination concerning the individual's eligibility for benefits, the department shall promptly furnish each employer in the base period whose experience or reimbursable account is potentially chargeable with benefits to be paid to such individual with a notice in writing of the employer's benefit liability. The notice shall contain the date, the name and Social Security account number of the individual, the ending date of the individual's base period, the week ending date of the first week of the individual's benefit period, the time by which the employer is required to respond to the notice, and complete information about the rules of evidence and standards of proof that the department will apply to determine the validity of a claim, if an employer disputes the claim. The notice shall further contain information as to the proportion of benefits chargeable to the employer's experience or reimbursable account in ratio to the earnings of such individual from such employer. Unless the employer within ten (10) days after such notice of benefit liability was mailed to the employer's last known address, or otherwise delivered to the employer, asks a hearing thereon before an administrative law judge, such determination shall be final and benefits paid shall be charged in accordance therewith.
    (g) An employing unit, including an employer, having knowledge of any facts which may affect an individual's eligibility or right to waiting period credits or benefits, shall notify the department of such facts within ten (10) days after the mailing of notice that a former employee has filed an initial or additional claim for benefits on a form prescribed by the department.
    (h) If, after the department determines that additional information is necessary to make a determination under this chapter:
        (1) the department makes a request in writing for additional information from an employing unit, including an employer, on a form prescribed by the department; and
        (2) the employing unit fails to respond within ten (10) days after the date the request is delivered to the employing unit;
the department shall make the determination with the information available.


    (i) If:
        (1) an employer subsequently obtains a determination by the department that the employee is not eligible for benefits; and
        (2) the determination is at least in part based on information that the department requested from the employer under subsection (h), but which the employer failed to provide within ten (10) days after the department's request was delivered to the employer;
the employer's experience account shall be charged an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the benefits paid to the employee to which the employee was not entitled.
    (j) If:
        (1) the employer's experience account is charged under subsection (i); and
        (2) the employee repays all or a part of the benefits on which the charge under subsection (i) is based;
the employer shall receive a credit to the employer's experience account that is equal to the amount of the employee's repayment up to the amount charged to the employer's experience account under subsection (i).
    (k) In addition to the foregoing determination of insured status by the department, the deputy shall, throughout the benefit period, determine the claimant's eligibility with respect to each week for which the claimant claims waiting period credit or benefit rights, the validity of the claimant's claim therefor, and the cause for which the claimant left the claimant's work, or may refer such claim to an administrative law judge who shall make the initial determination with respect thereto in accordance with the procedure in section 3 of this chapter.
    (l) In cases where the claimant's benefit eligibility or disqualification is disputed, the department shall promptly notify the claimant and the employer or employers directly involved or connected with the issue raised as to the validity of such claim, the eligibility of the claimant for waiting period credit or benefits, or the imposition of a disqualification period or penalty, or the denial thereof, and of the cause for which the claimant left the claimant's work, of such determination and the reasons thereof.
    (m) Except as otherwise hereinafter provided in this section regarding parties located in Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico, unless the claimant or such employer, within ten (10) days after the notification required by subsection (k) (l) was mailed to the claimant's or the employer's last known address or otherwise delivered to the claimant or the employer, asks for a hearing before an administrative law judge thereon, such decision shall be final and benefits shall be

paid or denied in accordance therewith.
    (n) For a notice of disputed administrative determination or decision mailed or otherwise delivered to the claimant or employer either of whom is located in Alaska, Hawaii, or Puerto Rico, unless the claimant or employer, within fifteen (15) days after the notification required by subsection (k) (l) was mailed to the claimant's or employer's last known address or otherwise delivered to the claimant or employer, asks for a hearing before an administrative law judge thereon, such decision shall be final and benefits shall be paid or denied in accordance therewith.
    (o) If a claimant or an employer requests a hearing under subsection (m) or (n), the request therefor shall be filed with the department in writing within the prescribed periods as above set forth in this section and shall be in such form as the department may prescribe. In the event a hearing is requested by an employer or the department after it has been administratively determined that benefits should be allowed to a claimant, entitled benefits shall continue to be paid to said claimant unless said administrative determination has been reversed by a due process hearing. Benefits with respect to any week not in dispute shall be paid promptly regardless of any appeal.
    (p) A person may not participate on behalf of the department in any case in which the person is an interested party.
    (q) Solely on the ground of obvious administrative error appearing on the face of an original determination, and within the benefit year of the affected claims, the commissioner, or a representative authorized by the commissioner to act in the commissioner's behalf, may reconsider and direct the deputy to revise the original determination so as to correct the obvious error appearing therein. Time for filing an appeal and requesting a hearing before an administrative law judge regarding the determinations handed down pursuant to this subsection shall begin on the date following the date of revision of the original determination and shall be filed with the commissioner in writing within the prescribed periods as above set forth in subsection (g).
    (r) Notice to the employer and the claimant that the determination of the department is final if a hearing is not requested shall be prominently displayed on the notice of the determination which is sent to the employer and the claimant.
    (s) If an allegation of the applicability of IC 22-4-15-1(c)(8) is made by the individual at the time of the claim for benefits, the department shall not notify the employer of the claimant's current address or physical location.
